  • 2017 Kansas Health Foundation Grant Report About the Center for Engagement and Community Development
    2017 Kansas Health Foundation Grant Report About the Center for Engagement and Community Development Kansas State University’s Center for Engagement and Community Development, or CECD, was created in 2006 with the mission to connect the resources and expertise of K-State to the significant issues of public need facing Kansans and communities worldwide. Our staff spent our first year traveling to meetings across Kansas, talking to citizen leaders, nonprofits, academics and governmental agencies. From those meetings, we generated a list of issues that we believed CECD and Kansas State University should address. First on the list of needs was finding ways to sustain rural food retail and improve rural healthy food access. This work is also integrally connected to the broader mission of Kansas State University. K-State’s agricultural heritage, food systems expertise and world-class research facilities have firmly established the university as a leader in addressing the growing technological, educational and human resource needs of the global food system. Building on this heritage, K-State launched the Global Food Systems Initiative in 2014, which is accelerating new research and teaching opportunities to enhance food production, food safety, human and animal health, and food security. Likewise, K-State Research and Extension, or KSRE, has identified its five grand challenges, one of which is global food systems. Under the umbrella of this grand challenge, KSRE is working to address food access, food security and strengthening global food systems. Since 2007, the Rural Grocery Initiative, or RGI, and rural food access have been a significant focus of CECD’s work.

  • 2010-Year in Review-082610.Indd
    A MESSAGE FROM YOUR CHAIRMAN As one door closes, another door opens: a saying which proved true in 2009/2010 as we ushered an old decade out and a new one in. A similar transition in leadership transpired with the National Grocers Association (N.G.A.). After 28 years of dedication and leadership to the independent grocery industry, President and CEO Tom Zaucha transitioned the organization to Peter Larkin. Larkin is the former President and CEO of the California Grocers Association (CGA). On behalf of the N.G.A. Board of Directors we say welcome Peter! Time and again, the independent grocers have been challenged by doubters, regulators, mother nature and more. Yet as each challenge is tossed at our industry, we fi ght back. The National Grocers Association steps forward and tells our story – the story of thousands of innovative retailers and their employees across the country who strive every day to serve the communities in which they live. The independent grocers have a voice and the National Grocers Association is here to get that voice and message heard. Together this year, we advanced the cause of independent grocery retailers and wholesalers on many fronts – from regulation to legislation, from operational issues to food safety. One of the things I am most proud of is the way grocers from different states came together to speak with one voice and raise the profi le of today’s independent community-focused retailer. In the following pages, you will learn what your Association accomplished in 2009/2010. I expect even greater success in 2011.
